Clean Eating: Plant-Powered Protein

Kicking off the 2017 Clean-Eating class series at The Chopping Block is this class dedicated to picking and preparing quality plant-based protein sources.

While animal proteins are certainly not off-limits in a clean-eating diet, incorporating plant proteins into your diet, as well, allows you to simultaneously consume a variety of vitamins, minerals and fiber, while minimizing exposure to antibiotics, hormones, heavy metals and other toxins.

Students will learn the benefit of building meals around a variety of nuts, beans, whole grains, seeds and vegetables and will feel confident adding these inexpensive, flavorful and nutrient-filled ingredients to everyday meals.
